Redneck Challenges Gore Vidal On Brokeback Mt

[DudeAsInCool]

Redneck: Let's start with "Brokeback Mountain."

Gore Vidal: I liked it, I'm a great fan of Ang Lee. He did the best Civil War movie ever made, called "The Devil Rides Outside." And it was really, really good. Lee had an extraordinary feeling, for somebody from Taiwan, for the American Civil War. It was just fascinating. So I was eager to see the movie about the two sheepherders, actually is what they are, they're not cowboys. You can see there's not a cow in the movie, just a lot of sheep. You can see how the two sheepherders might get tired of the sheep and begin to look to each other, as a kind of variation on a theme.

Redneck: You've got it all backwards. Typical liberal. The Sheep were the best thing in the movie!

I couldn't agree more.

I didn't see the movie. If I was sure it had lots of sheep I might buy the dvd. :bigsmile:

And two gay shepherds don't quite attract the attention that cowboys do...so they kinda put some spin on the blurbs

Thousands of them. But only in a few scenes.
